Colorado Artist Penny Bunn Becker works in a wide variety of drawing and painting materials and techniques, but she especially enjoys the challenges of transparent watercolor. When time and the weather permit, Penny works directly from nature, or uses her drawings and personal photographs to complete works in her studio. Her artwork often reflects the beauty of nature and her love of the outdoors. Her Flight Series is inspired by the sketches she draws when flying.

Penny is a Signature Member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and her award winning work is regularly included in National, Regional, and Local juried exhibitions and in numerous private and corporate collections.
